booked The Dancing Ceilidh Trio for their event

“That was the 3rd time I have booked you this year 2022, I think I should have invited you guys for Xmas dinner lol.

Every single event was an absolute cracker, and I will be seeing you for some more in 2023. There...”

On the night the dance floor was packed, and my guests exclaimed that they felt just as if they w...”
